Volunteers Are The Key To Our Success!

We appreciate your interest in volunteering for the United States Police & Fire Championships. With 3,000+ athletes from all over the country, more than 500 volunteers will be needed to make this event a huge success for San Diego.

Volunteers are vital for our programming's success and are often the first point of contact for our athletes. Volunteers help us deliver a quality experience for our first responders, public safety personnel, athletes, and sponsors. We strive to create a volunteer experience that is rewarding and positive. Whether this is your first-year volunteering with the Championships or you have been participating for decades, we appreciate your involvement and willingness to help us to produce the US Police & Fire Championships.
